COLUMBIA – At the end of a week-long voting race, the Central Missouri Humane Society is currently leading a competition that could earn the animal shelter a $1 million makeover.
Out of 10 shelters located across the country, one will be deemed the winner based on the number of votes cast by Zootoo's registered voters.
Zootoo, a social networking Web site for pet lovers, gives its members 10 votes a day every day until the competition is over. The Central Missouri Humane Society is currently in the lead with 1,609,900 points, as of Friday morning; the St. Tammany Humane Society of Covington, La., is in a close second with 1,131,776 points.
The second shelter makeover competition is in its final voting stage, which is scheduled to end April 19. The winner will be announced April 22 in USAToday.
